HP 15-r29wm NO SPEAKERS SOUND (headphones OK) [Hardware issue]

Hello everyone,
I have a new HP 15-r029wm.The sound from speaks just stopped all by itself. the headphones work fine but the speakers don't. When I try troubleshooting, it says that no problem was detected. Here is all what I did but still nothing:
1. I updated the audio driver from HP.
2. I updated the driver from Realtek.
3. I updated the BIOS.
4. I reset the BIOS to defaults.
5. I looked if something is blocked inside the jack.
6. I restored using HP Recovery partition.
7. I used a Ubuntu live USB. Everything looks fine, but no sound comes out of the speakers.
Ps. I can't return the laptop to walmart because I am overseas for about a year.
Thank you for reading.
Edit:
It is a harware issue. The speakers were self-destroyed. Surprised how this could have happened. Check out the photo...

Are you using the same type of notebook and what operating system are you using?
Please read the following documents if you need help in finding those.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Are you able to get sound from headphones as well?
Are you referring to the built in speakers or a set of external speakers?

Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device.
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

HT1349 My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?

My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?
My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.

Why when using keynote on my i-pad do I have no sound through the i-pad speakers and only sound when I plug in external speakers or headphones?

Why do I get no sound through the i-pad speakerts when using Keynotes but when external speakers or headphones are plugged in sound is there. Also how do you get back to the program page when in play mode on i-pad?

Whoa, I found the answer by clicking on one of the questions in the "More Like This" box to the right. I do wonder how to find that box before posting my dumb question. The answer turned out to be checking the youtube volume control. I turned that up and it solved the problem for Comast as well.

Sound is not coming out of speakers, but headphones work?

I have a Satellite L505-S5990 laptop. Today while I was sitting at home browsing the Internet, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It was working just fine minutes before. It was sitting on the counter the entire time and it just silently stopped working.
So I grabbed some headphones and plugged them in and they worked.
I restarted the computer, still no sound coming from speakers.
Windows 7 found no problems while troubleshooting the sound.
I downloaded the Automated Troubleshooting Services to diagnose and fix sound playback issues from Microsoft but that didn't find any issues.
I uninstalled the sound driver and installed the one that came with this laptop. I still get the same result. No sound from speakers but headphones work.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread. I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones. The next morning--no speaker sound.
I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack. But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound! I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? Any ideas :)

I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing from the port? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? I used the headphones in the laptop for the first time yesterday and have had this problem ever since. Any ideas

The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck. Try inserting the earphone plug a few times. If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

No sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us

no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us. Speakers are not muted and volume is up. May have happened after a system update

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

No sound from internal speakers or headphones when using ART Tube interface

Hi - can anyone help with this...
I have no sound fromthe internal speakers or headphones when using my new ART Tube USB interface - I get a nice loud recording level from the ART but cant monitor - in Logic 7.2
Audio hardware interface in logic 7.2 is set to USB Codec - just like the ART manual states
And the SOUND control panel is set to speakers/headphones
But no love...
Any comments welcomed
Si2

By default, OSX will only let you have one interface active at any one time - so if you specify the ART as your interface to get sound in, you don't have access to your regular interface to listen to it.
But there is a workaround - open the Audio/MIDI Setup utility, create a new "Aggregate Device", and add both your required audio interfaces to it.
Now, back in Logic, select the aggregate device you created as the audio device, and now all your inputs and outputs from both interfaces are available - the aggregate device acts as one big interface containing both your hardware interfaces.

Hp pavilion g6 notebook PC. No sound from speakers or headphones

Hi, I just did all the recommended updates for my computer this week due to it working so slowly. It started working like new again with one problem, I now have absolutely no sound.

Yeasterday day any headphone sound is messed up though speakers sound fine.

when headphones, any headphones, are plugged in sound is very static with weak sound in left ear. It is worse with music/talk then 'sounds'. took headphones out and speakers sound fine. This just started. I am using a ipad 3 and ios 7.04.

In Creative media player click on tools and then settings. Click general and under play back sound devices, ensure your card is selected thus to the device features.
And/or to double check.
Type in run
"C:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\Audio Device Selection"
Doulble click the "CTAudSel" Icon and ensure your device is selected and not windows defualt.
Have a look in windows control panel/sound devices. Go to hardware and select your card.
Go to properties, then again to properties then audio devices.
Ensure that "use audio features on this device is selected"
Now do the same for all devices and see if that fixes it.
D/L the latest DX version.
Good luck.Message Edited by xmn on 07-04-2006 02:40 PM

HP laptops diverting sounds from external speakers when headphones connected

Hi there,
The problem is reproduced in several cases, but the most annoying is the following:
1. Headphones are connected to the laptop (I assume all sounds must go to the headphones, not to the speaker)
2. Have skype (or googletalk or several other apps) run in background
3. Have browser (chrome, firefox) open and youtube video is being showed
4. Message comes to IM (skype, gtalk...) and when BEEP from the application is played - it is played not in headphones, but in external speakers!
I though the issue was with skype - but after some time I faced with the same problem in other apps - and it is not reproduced on other laptops (not HP).
The problem is being seen on several different HP laptops. Here is details of my laptop:
HP ProBook 6550b WD700EA#ACB
Windows7 Enterprise 64bit, SP1

Ok I have it Fixed on my computer.
In the control panel then sound there are 3 devices.
AMD HDMI Output
AMD High Definition Audio Device
Speakers and Headphones
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Communications Headphones
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
What apears to happen is that as soon as a communications type program starts it devides the audio inbetween 2 mixers and seperated the headphone jack from the main audio card. As soon as I right clicked and disabled the "Communications Headphones" Then there is only one mixer that focres all applications to use the heaphone jack instead of the regular applications through the external speakers and communication applications to the headphone.
If for any reason you want to reactivate the "Communications Headphones" one you disable you will need to right click in the sound windows and select show disabled devices.

Dv6853cl Crackling sound playing mutimedia with speakers or headphones

I have a dv6853cl and have a sound crackling problem. The only time it didn't crackle was when I was running Linux Mint (dual). I now have a clean install of windows 7 ultimate and the laptop speakers and headphones crackle. Turning off the wireless card or disabling through device manager made no difference.
At very low volume it doesn't crackle or i just don't notice it.

I think I found the cause and solution. I was/am also having a problem with applications often "not responding". When I applied the solution below from this thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7performance/thread/ae9468d9-168e-44ef-a54b-b4812f... - the sound issue went away. Unfortunately the static issue returns the next day or so....
1.    Turn Off the Laptop.
2.    Disconnect all the external devices and AC power adaptor.
3.    Turn the laptop upside down.
4.    You will find a long compartment in the upper side of the laptop.
5.    Slide the latches beside the battery compartment. This would open the battery compartment door and battery would pop up.
6.   Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
7.   Press and hold the Turn ON button for 60Seconds (to remove static electricity).
8.   Place the battery back in to the battery compartment and close the compartment door.
9.   Please connect the Ac adaptor.

Sound: internal speakers or headphones

Hi Guys,
In Leopard the headphone was always connected to the computer and it worked independently
of the sound system. It was convenient.
With Snow I have to plug/unplug the headphone (by turning the computer around) because
sys preferences > sound
ha either internal speakers OR headphones. Rather inconvenient.
Is there a way to select both as it was under Leopard?
Thanks,
Mike-oz

In Leopard the headphone was always connected to the computer and it worked independently of the sound system.
You are the second person I know to report that audio behavior. I have never seen a Mac that had independent control of the internal speakers from external headphones/speakers. Perhaps this was a luck of happenstance that vanished with SL installation. I was not aware, nor did I think it was standard Mac OS X behavior. I have looked for this on the Macs in Apple Stores and have never seen it there as well.
